1-23-2026 Acclaimed folk-rock trio, The Sweet Remains return to touring in support of their highly anticipated fifth studio album, “Embers,” a mesmerizing collection of ten new songs that showcase their signature acoustic-driven, three-part harmonies. Produced by longtime collaborator and Grammy-winner Andy Zulla, the album features standout tracks like "When The World Slowed Down," "You Say," "Don’t Count Me Out" and the title track "Ember." The band's sound seamlessly blends into contemporary playlists alongside artists like John Mayer, Ray LaMontagne, and Jason Mraz, while evoking the timeless harmonies of Crosby, Stills & Nash, Simon & Garfunkel, and The Eagles. A rare independent success, The Sweet Remains have surpassed 65 million streams on Spotify, earning a devoted global following. Their award-winning feature film, The Independents, a heartfelt and humorous look at their journey in music, is now streaming on Amazon Prime, Tubi, Google Play and other major platforms. The Hollywood Reporter hailed it as “an extremely engaging film,” while the Los Angeles Times called it “a warm and welcoming celebration of music…the musical numbers are frequent and fabulous.” Formed by Rich Price (Burlington, VT), Greg Naughton (NYC) and Brian Chartrand (Phoenix, AZ), The Sweet Remains is driven by three accomplished singer-songwriters. Rich Price, whose song "I’m On My Way" was featured on the multi-platinum Shrek 2 soundtrack, has released multiple solo albums and written for film and TV. Early in his career, he was signed to RCA and later Geffen Records. Greg Naughton earned acclaim for his debut indie release, "Demagogue & The Sun Songs," praised by Performing Songwriter Magazine as “a magnetic writer and performer.” That album was co-produced by the late Grammy-winning artist Phoebe Snow. Greg’s work extends beyond music - he co-wrote and directed "The Independents," inspired by the band’s real-life experiences, and often collaborates with his wife, Tony-winner Kelli O’Hara. Brian Chartrand, a celebrated Phoenix-based songwriter, has released numerous solo albums and tours internationally, including as the creator of "Live From Laurel Canyon," a critically acclaimed tribute to folk-rock legends like CSN, Neil Young, and Joni Mitchell. With Embers, The Sweet Remains continue their legacy, following in the footsteps of their beloved catalog: Music Fills The Spaces (2020), Night Songs (2015), North & Prospect (2012), and Laurel & Sunset (2008).
